If you guys feel so strongly about Espo, then I think you should take some time and write in about it. That's the only way a change will be made.

Yep - and by "doorstop", I'm talking about envisioning those springy wall mounts they used to put behind house doors. When one of those things are flicked, that's the sound I hear every damn time the guy picks up a mic for an interview - done in a hollowed-out bathroom.
Guy needs to quit trying to be something he's not and stick to behind-the-scenes production - serious.
You guys are going to have to make up your mind. Doorstop or doorknob?

I have - couple of years ago. And yet.....
That's one reason why I said what I said in the Media Day thread - he's got to have something on someone to be able to keep that on-camera gig.

Poor guy is really awkward on camera.

Is anyone watching the scrimmage? Swingy, your boy Espo is the color commentator I believe

Bledsoe and IT3 look like they have some chemistry going.

It was great to hear, Al! The man at 81 still knows what's going on. He does his research. A true professional.

^He's actually looking pretty decent. He knocked down a couple of 3's, is playing some decent D, and has been grabbing some boards.

13 points, 9 boards. 2/2 from three.
Yep, the Shavster.

I don't know whether to be happy he did well, or embarrassed for Len and Plum.

I just watched the first half of the scrimmage. Goran looks tired already. Everything is short. Bledsoe looks solid. Thomas is going to be absolutely huge for us. Len had a really athletic play where he sort of jumped by the basket and passed underneath to a cutting Goodwin for 2. Not sure why people don't see his athleticism.

I almost wish we would just shut Goran down for the first month of the season or something. He's an injury waiting to happen.

Goran was blaming his short shot on the altitude. I think he's not as worn out as last year due to his restricted minutes. We'll see.
